New submission from Ray:

This doesn't look like proper functionality

    Python 3.5.1 (v3.5.1:37a07cee5969, Dec  6 2015, 01:54:25) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> type('')
    <class 'str'>
    >>> type('').startswith('s')
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    TypeError: startswith() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)
    >>> type('').startswith('s', 's')
    True
